Beloved warrior, Lyon Herron, captivated our community with his strong, unbreakable spirit up until his very last breath onDecember 17th, 2023.
Lyon conquered everything in his path but unfortunately succumbed to the cancer that eventually took his earthly body.
“I’m so comfortable with the end of this life’s journey that I honestly am welcoming the end with open arms. I don’t want anyone to mourn me when I pass, but to celebrate the life that I lived. I am so blessed and so grateful for the life that I’ve had, I’ve been living on borrowed time for a very long time now and now it’s my souls time to move on.” he wrote on Instagram shortly before his death.
Lyon was just seven years old when he was diagnosed with a rare disease that he fought valiantly for the next two decades.
During that time, he became known as a talented surfer, motorider and photographer leaving an incredible legacy and as he was determined to live to its fullest.
We are honored to have had Lyon as a contributor to 90265 Magazine leaving a lasting creative imprint on our pages, and our lives.
We love you Lyon!
Lyon Forever.
Lyon’s legacy lives on in the Devocean issue of 90265 Magazine, forever imprinted in our minds and souls.

Having spent most her childhood on sands of Zuma Beach, Cece left Southern California in her early 20’s, but it was only a matter of time before she returned to the idyllic place that held so many wonderful memories from her youth. In 2006, she made the journey back to Malibu permanently, the passion to preserve it was ignited. In 2012, Cece became involved in local environmental and political activism at the urging of former husband Steve Woods, a resident for more than 4o years. Together, they were involved in many high-profile environmental battles including the Malibu Lagoon Restoration Project, Measure R, Measure W, and more.
